Gray Striped Blanket: 100% Undyed Wool

This wool blanket, called a lizhnyk, is traditionally handwoven in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine from natural sheep wool. Each one is made on a wooden loom, giving it a texture that is always slightly different and unique to its maker.
A lizhnyk can be used in many ways: as a cozy blanket, a rug, a bedspread, wall décor, or even as a meaningful gift. Its beauty and practicality allow each owner to find their own special use for it :)

To make one medium-sized blanket, you have to work long and hard. I use only natural wool from sheep raised in the high Carpathian mountain pastures, along with natural dyes.
First, the wool must be washed and dried thoroughly, then combed with a special tool that makes it puff up and resemble a cloud.
The combed wool is easy to manipulate and is spun into threads, which are then used to weave a lizhnyk on a loom (in the mountains, handmade looms are mostly used).
The woven product is then placed in a special device called a valylo—a huge wooden barrel that narrows toward the bottom.
Water is piped in with great force, creating a whirlpool in which the blankets spin for hours.
After this process, lizhnyks become dense yet fluffy.
➤ Recommended care:
Instead of wasting your time, give your item a nice vigorous shake, and most of the debris stuck to it will come off. 🙂
If you accidentally spill something like coffee or wine on it, run that area under slightly warm water. Once the stain has been rinsed out, give it a gentle squeeze. Afterward, place the item on a surface with good airflow, and make sure to flip it periodically until it dries.
For rugs, you can use a vacuum cleaner.
If the item becomes heavily soiled, please take it to a dry cleaner.
➤ If you have any questions or you would like to have a customized order, please don't hesitate to contact me :)
What buyers say
“I am extremely pleased with the blanket. It has so much beauty and character. The blanket has real thickness and there is a lot of texture with the weave and with longer wool “hairs” on the surface. It does not seem to shed, and while there is a very very faint wool smell, it is not noticeable, I am sensitive to smells and I am not bothered at all. Do not hesitate to buy, you will be very happy. The transaction was smooth and professional, and Svitlana responded promptly to my questions.”

This blanket is so beautiful and well-made! Wishing health, safety, and peace to Ukraine and her people.
Beautiful quality and exactly as pictured. Soft, it does shed as expected. I am using it at our mountain house for decorative purposes only.
A beautiful carpet, thank you very much
